2025

2025-08-10 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: position_evolution
Amo voted Yea on H.Res.894 equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism in December 2023 — one of his first major votes — yet by August 2025 he was forcefully criticizing Netanyahu, calling for a permanent ceasefire, and demanding civilian protection. The two positions are not logically contradictory but represent a notable evolution from unreserved pro-Israel posture to open criticism of Israeli leade…

2024

2024-04-20 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: same_source_inconsistency
[auto-downgraded: both claims come from the same source host] Amo voted against standalone Israel aid in February 2024 because it lacked Ukraine and humanitarian components, then voted for a larger Israel aid package in April 2024 when it was bundled with other priorities. While the stated rationale was consistent (support for a comprehensive package), the substantive outcome — approving billions …
2024-04-20 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: same_source_inconsistency
[auto-downgraded: both claims come from the same source host] Amo voted against standalone Israel military aid in February 2024, citing the absence of humanitarian aid for Gaza and Ukraine funding. Two months later, he voted for the comprehensive foreign aid package that included substantially similar Israel military assistance plus the humanitarian and Ukraine components he had demanded. The poli…
2024-04-12 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: reversal
Amo voted to reauthorize FISA Section 702 warrantless surveillance in April 2024 (H.R. 7888, Roll Call 119), then opposed FISA reauthorization in April 2026, citing civil liberties concerns about 'handing Trump's government a blank check.' Both votes addressed the same statutory framework (FISA Title VII/Section 702 reauthorization). The change in presidential administration (Biden to Trump) is th…

2023

2023-08-28 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Amo campaigned as a champion for working families and economic equity, yet accepted $21,127 in campaign contributions from corporate lobbyists for Wall Street, Big Pharma, Big Oil, and Big Tobacco — and previously worked as a registered lobbyist for Home Depot. The Working Families Party argued that 'you can't simultaneously fight for working class people and the interest of these corporate lobbyi…

What this view assembles

  • Promises & violations — every documented commitment + each documented break, with primary sources.
  • Contradiction pairs — fact-against-fact entries from the contradictions ledger; the "said" appears in its year, the "did" appears in its year.
  • Vote-based analyses — for elected officials, every documented case where a vote diverged from a stated commitment.
  • Entity events — major dated events recorded against the entity (acquisitions, indictments, appointments, etc.).

This view DOES NOT auto-detect new drift candidates. It surfaces records that are already on file. If you spot an undocumented inversion, the curator workflow (admin) is where to add it.
